Item #3: Regional Plan Approval – Brooke Valle

ACTION ITEM – VOTE REQUIRED RECOMMENDATION: The WDB approve the regional and local plans, as required by the state, for submission to the California State Workforce Board.

A.) Background The California Workforce Development Board has divided the state of California into fourteen regional planning units and requires each of these units to maintain a regional and local plan which outlines their approach to serving business and job seekers. San Diego is part of the Southern Border Region (SBR) planning unit which is comprised of Imperial and San Diego county workforce development boards, along with a range of partners including the community college system, adult education, economic development and the business community.

B.) Process Regional and local plans are required to be updated periodically and must be approved by the local workforce boards. October 2018 marked the beginning of the latest refresh cycle and the revised plan is due to the state board in March 2019. Plan refresh is based on set of state requirements and input was collected through a series of discussions with strategic partners and public meetings. A draft of the plans refresh was also made available to the public for a 30-day comment period.

C.) Plan Summary There are two separate plan documents, one for the regional and one for the local plan. Each document includes three main components:

our five strategic pillars our priority sectors an overview of ongoing or planned population-specific work in our region

Page 8: Workforce Development Board€¦ · 02/01/2019  · regional plan, which will undergo a public comment period with a final version presented to the WDB at the February 21, 2019 meeting

 

 

Strategic Pillars San Diego and Imperial Counties have a shared vision for our work which is to foster economic mobility for our citizens and vibrant growth for our businesses. To achieve this, we established five pillars which will cut across all of our work, regardless of the population served, program launched, or partnerships established. Specifically, these include:

Priority Sector Refresh While our work is driven philosophically by our five focus areas, our efforts are tactically focused on supporting the greatest employment needs in the region. This requires regularly refreshing our priority sectors and priority occupations based on changes in economic conditions and labor market data. The SBR research team identified the current priority occupations for each county—occupations that have high and growing numbers of jobs and pay at least a self-sufficient wage at the entry level. While these priority jobs can be found throughout the economy, they are highly concentrated in four priority sectors that are shared between the two counties in our region. These sectors include Education & Human Development, Health Care, Public Administration, and Energy, Construction & Utilities. In addition to our four regional priority sectors, the SBR research team also identified three local priority sectors that recognize the unique economic drivers of each local area. In San Diego County these sectors are Advanced Manufacturing, Life Sciences R&D, and ICT & Digital Media. In Imperial County, these sectors are Retail, Leisure & Hospitality, Agriculture, and Advanced Transportation & Logistics. We will develop a set of research collateral to be used by career centers, partner organization and educators to raise awareness in the community about the opportunities available in the regional labor market. The sector lens will also be particularly useful when engaging groups of businesses and will inform business services strategies. Population Specific Work The regional plan refresh is primarily reentry-focused to capture work that will be done under the Prison to Employment (P2E) initiative. While San Diego has been operating successful justice-involved strategies under our nationally recognized “Reentry Works” model, the P2E

Page 9: Workforce Development Board€¦ · 02/01/2019  · regional plan, which will undergo a public comment period with a final version presented to the WDB at the February 21, 2019 meeting

 

 

funding will allow this work to be expanded to serve more of the justice-involved population. Under this plan we are focused on:

Maximizing reentry investments by co-funding with partners Providing evidence-based service delivery . Facilitating integration and co-enrollment between AJCC and WIOA providers Expanding flexible, population-specific earn and learn models that lead to quality jobs Implementing outcomes based contracting models

The regional plan also captures the importance of leveraging the multi-craft core curriculum for pre-apprenticeship to help connect workers with high quality jobs in the trades. The local plan refresh focuses on stronger partnerships to serve non-custodial parents, English language learners, refugees, and immigrants through programs such as Calfresh and Competitive Integrated Employment (CIE). This includes:

Collaboration with Department of Child Support Service for co-enrollment of clients and provision of wrap around services

Continuation of the Work Well Committee which focuses on employment strategies, business management, data collection and outcome strategies

Provision of culturally and linguistically accessible, community-based navigators who can serve as a “bridge” between the clients that walk in their doors – immigrants with limited English proficiency – and the resource available through the Career Centers

Opportunities to build off the Strategic Plan for Immigrant and Refugee Integration launched in February by Welcoming San Diego and the Mayor’s office 

Expanding the application of the evidence-based Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model to help those living with disabilities achieve steady, meaningful employment in mainstream competitive jobs, either part-time or full-time

NOTES & LOOKING AHEAD

Beginning next FY (July 2019) SD Workforce expects to realize $300,000 in savings from corporate HQ move. These savings will be found in central operations and can be reinvested in org-wide infrastructure and/or reinvested in programs. No notable cost savings realized in this budget modification.

Compared to the budget passed in June 2018, this budget modification allocates an additional $875,000 for training dollars directly for on-the-job and classroom training for participants. This brings the FY19 total training budget to $4.1M, compared to $3.1M in FY18.

This budget does not account for grants in process or a $500,000 private grant secured from an individual donor. To date, we have raised $1.7M of private funds toward our $5M goal for the Income Share Agreement (ISA) fund

Audited financial statements and 990 Tax Return for FY 2018 will be brought forward by the audit committee at the June 2019 board meeting.

Item #5: Contract Amendment – C2C Live Well Internship Program ACTION ITEM – VOTE REQUIRED RECOMMENDATION: Approve the contract for Access, Inc. to provide case management services for 75 youth in the CONNECT2Careers (C2C) Live Well Internship program in southeastern San Diego for a total of $120,500.

BACKGROUND Existing County Internship Program Since summer 2016, the San Diego Workforce Partnership (SDWP) has provided recruitment assistance for the County of San Diego’s summer internship program but had not been funded at a level to allow for case management, work-readiness training or wraparound services for internship program participants. C2C Live Well Internship Program — Southeastern San Diego In fall 2018, SDWP was approached by the County of San Diego’s Health & Human Services Agency to design a program that expands the County’s existing summer internship program with a focus on creating a local talent pipeline for the County’s upcoming Southeastern San Diego Live Well Center. This program is known as the “C2C Live Well Internship Program.” In January 2019, the County of San Diego modified its agreement with SDWP for C2C that included an additional $280,002 for calendar year 2019 (CY19), $250,000 of which is allocated for the operation of this program. The program will provide 75 youth with paid training during the months of May and June 2019, followed by 50 paid internships within the County departments during the months of July and August 2019. Request for Bids for Case Management Services SDWP released a Request for Bids (RFB) for case management services for youth in the program for CY19. Access, Inc. was awarded the contract for case management services for $100,500 on a cost-reimbursement basis. Work readiness training for the youth will be provided directly by SDWP. Performance Payments In addition to the reimbursement of costs directly related to program delivery, SDWP seeks to inspire new approaches for case management services by assigning unrestricted performance payments upon the successful attainment of program goals. If the provider successfully attains all program goals, the total expenditure to the subrecipient for CY19 would be $120,500. The following performance payments are proposed:

Metric Payment Max Units Line Total Training completion, per youth $100 75 $7,500Internship completion, per youth $250 50 $12,500 Total possible $20,000

Item #6: Contract Amendment – Workforce Innovation Fund for Rapid Rehousing Employment Pilot

 ACTION ITEM – VOTE REQUIRED RECOMMENDATION: That the WDB approve the contract amendment for KRA Corporation for 

an additional $300,000 of WIF funding in the period of performance ending June 30th, 2019. 

 BACKGROUND In 2014, SDWP was awarded a DOL Workforce  Innovation Fund  (WIF) grant  in the amount of $6,000,000  over  five  years.  The  funds  are  designed  to  test,  evaluate  and  scale  innovative workforce program models. SDWP partnered with the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency  and  Behavioral Health  Services,  and  the Department  of  Rehabilitation  on  a program design to test the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) Model for serving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and other low‐income individuals impacted by disabilities.     This year SDWP is working with Regional Task Force on the Homeless (RTFH) and the City of San Diego  on  the  Rapid  Rehousing  Employment  Pilot the  enrollment  goal for  the  program is  an additional at  minimum 100  participants  who  are  experiencing  homelessness. The  Homeless Rapid Employment Initiative is a unique blend of services that use innovation and collaboration to serve San Diego’s homeless individuals. By combining City funded services with SDWP’s WIF program  and  activating  the  IPS model  and  strong  community  partnerships,  this  initiative  is designed  to  tackle  homelessness  on  a  grander  scale. With  over  30  years  of  data,  IPS—now adapted to serve those experiencing homelessness in the region—will push participants one step closer to self‐sufficiency and economic mobility.    PERFORMANCE Due to the high demand for program services, and serving a higher number of participants, the funding recommendation is for an additional $300,000 of WIF funding allocated to KRA Corporation for the period of performance ending June 30th, 2019. The funds will be used to provide supportive services to the participants, training and certification for staff on the IPS model, and additional staff to assist participants with the multiple and compounded barriers that have led to homelessness.    Since October, we have had 98  referrals  from  five partners,  including  the San Diego Housing Commission  (SDHC),  South  Bay  Community  Services,  People  Assisting  the Homeless  (PATH), Home Start, Father Joe’s Villages and new partner Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA) of San Diego County.

*Each program may be reporting quarter on separate cycle. SDWP funding streams have different performance cycles, most are on Jul-Jun or Dec-Jan, with some on Sept-Oct. Some are only 12- to 18-month pilot programs.

**KRA’s 2nd quarter of PY 2018-2019 is below target in South, North, and East counties due to the transition of service provider as of July 1, 2018. KRA will continue to move towards target as participants exit.

Corrective action policy: SDWP places contractors on corrective action after any single quarter reporting under performance. Corrective action involves documenting immediate targets for improvement, and prescribed, frequent technical assistance sessions from SDWP staff. Generally, SDWP moves to recommend funding reduction if a contractor has seen two or more successive quarters below corrective action targets, without improvement on agreed upon milestones.
